Construction Project Management MSci

About

Course overview

The Construction Project Management MSci is an integrated 4-year degree programme with a final year which will extend and deepen knowledge in the management of construction projects through level 7 (masters level) modules.

The programme combines training in the project management of construction with a strong grounding in five thematic areas:

industry
technology
management
professional practice
integration.

Modules are designed to focus on key construction industry priorities, such as digital delivery, industrialisation of production methods, sustainability, safety, value and quality.

Students will build their understanding of the construction development process, from clients developing their requirements during the design, through the procurement and production stages, to the final occupation and ongoing management of the facilities.

Projects are studied from the perspective of a range of relevant stakeholders, including policy makers, clients, occupiers, funders, designers, contractors and facilities managers.

One of the unique features of this programme is the structure, which offers both breadth and depth of knowledge and experience, beginning with the fundamentals of projects, firms, process and procedures, which are introduced in the first year, and prepares students to engage with the more advanced systems and the many intertwined technical, commercial, environmental, socio-technical and ethical issues associated with buildings and infrastructure.
